Appeals Court Rules Trump Has Authority To Deport Migrants Over The Objection Of Local Authorities

5 weeks ago A panel of judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the federal government has the authority to deport illegal migrants over the objection of local authorities.
The 29-page ruling essentially gives President Donald Trump the green light to carry out his Mass Deportation plan, regardless if democrat Mayors and Governors disagree.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement can continue using a Seattle airport for chartered deportation flights, a federal appeals court ruled in a decision that rejected a 2019 local order that sought to counter then-President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
The agency has long used airports around the country to charter flights deporting hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants.
The lawsuit was sparked after local authorities in Seattle tried to block ICE from deporting illegal migrants using a county airport back in 2019. The U.S. sued in 2020.
